A unique clinical presentation of de novo acute promyelocytic leukemia as a myeloid sarcoma of the breast.

We describe the first case, to our knowledge, of de novo myeloid sarcoma of the breast confirmed as acute promyelocytic leukemia. Immunohistochemical analysis, flow cytometry, fluorescent in situ hybridization analysis and molecular analysis using RQ-PCR of tissue samples should be routine in determining the correct diagnosis in this setting.
